Each Saturday, I dig through the Food in Jars Flickr pool and feature some of your photographs here in this space. If you’d like to see your hard work on the blog, please add your images to the group! And just so you know, Instagram and camera phone images are more than welcome. Here are this week’s selections.

Cinnamon whiskey jelly from Erin (she writes the blog Putting Up With Erin). It’s a combination of apple cider, bourbon, and cinnamon sticks and I only wish I could say that I’d thought of it first. I can’t stop imagining it with a sliver of crumbly, aged cheddar cheese.

I am just a little bit jealous of Melissa (who is also known as The Boastful Baker). She finally has a pantry big enough for her homemade preserves. Mine still live in random closets and under our bed.

A gift of gorgeously hued apricot honey jam from Mostly Foodstuffs blogger Deena, to Cakewalk blogger Rebecca. I love what a small world it becomes thanks to the internet.

Here’s a flashback to late summer tomatoes thanks to Christina of My Homespun Home. I’m about halfway through my own stash of tomatoes right now. How are the rest of you holding up with your home canned staples?

I used to be in the habit of featuring photos from the Food in Jars Flickr pool here on the blog once a week. Then somehow along the way, that particular feature fell by the wayside. I really liked sharing reader photography here and so have decided to revive this column. If you have a photo of your jams, pickles, or other delicious things in jars, please do add it to the group (phone and Instagram photos are absolutely welcome!).

Every Sunday evening, I take a break from showing off my preserves and give the rest of you a chance to shine by featuring a few photos from the Food in Jars Flickr group. Here are a few pretties from the last week or two. If you’d like to see your photo featured here, please head over to Flickr, join the group and add your images.

Madras Pickled Eggplant, Melissa Clark’s sriracha and Zuni Cafe’s zucchini pickle from jbban. Love the use of those vintage jars for refrigerator pickles.

Pretty bread and butter pickles from Pebblie. Nice to see the Tattler lids in action!

Canning supplies coming together from TinyAcorn. See how she put those jars and tomatoes to good use here.

Spiced apple butter from Julia of Minecreations. Apple butter makes the best holiday gifts, so get cracking!

Washed okra, ready for pickling from Bridgman Pottery. I do love pickled okra (so much so that I made four pints of it during last night’s hurricane. Someone on Twitter coined the practice of putting up during the storm Hurricanning).

From the description of the photos, from left to right these jars contain, “Sweet Apple Cider Pickled Beets, Dill Pickles, Marinated Red Peppers & Bread n’ Butter Zucchini Coins.” They are the hard work of Jess at Preserving Beauty.
